you need to make sure you can ssh to the VM on the ip, using the specified user and key first
otherwise packer as you can't ssh into. I will suggest to get familiar with packer first, here: https://learn.hashicorp.com/packer And then try to get some base box working, when you see how pieces connect, you will be able to complete the project on the OS you are trying to use, but few things need to happen for packer to work. - Packer creates a VM - optionally packer type a boot instruction - Machine install/reboot, or start from an existing VM - packer ssh into - optional provisioning - shutdown Thanks Alvaro On Fri, May 28, 2021 at 12:30 PM Akhilesh Verma <[email protected]> wrote: > I tried as suggested by you but no luck. ip address is same as given in > the json file. > manually and packer both failed to ssh with given key. > > > Thanks, > Akhilesh Verma > > On Fri, May 28, 2021 at 3:45 PM Alvaro Miranda Aguilera <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> can you see to the new machine when is created ? >> >> using his user and key? >> >> core >> /home/ubuntu/.ssh/id_rsa >> >> ? >> >> The ip should be one defined here: >> >> vm_v4address": "xxx.xxx.x.xx", >> >> I fail to see how this boot from iso will create this user, allow login >> with this private key and set fixed IP >> >> >> On Thu, May 27, 2021 at 4:10 PM akhilesh verma < >> [email protected]> wrote: >> >>> Hi , >>> >>> I am facing below error while creating a new rhcos VM: >>> >>> 2021/05/27 13:34:37 packer-builder-vsphere-iso plugin: [DEBUG] SSH >>> handshake err: ssh: handshake failed: ssh: unable to authenticate, >>> attempted methods [none publickey], no supported methods remain >>> 2021/05/27 13:34:37 packer-builder-vsphere-iso plugin: [DEBUG] Detected >>> authentication error.
